Second-hand Smoking Harmful For Psychological Health

http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTCDavjJx4cA-ihFwatZBFK-GVc1rdZ8mkdbSfAwMNQ8t5zgoLOWQScientists found that non-smoking people exposed to a lot of passive smoke were 50 percent more likely to suffer from mental distress than those who don’t stand near smoking people.

And their chances of being admitted to a psychiatric clinic over the next five years was nearly tripled (it was almost quadrupled for smokers).

So-called “passive smoking” is very common, Dr. Mark Hamer of University College London in the UK and colleagues note in the Archives of General Psychiatry. One US study found evidence of second-hand smoke in 60 percent of no smoking people.

Studies measuring the nicotine byproduct cotinine have made it possible to precisely measure secondhand smoke exposure and its health effects, they add, but there is “very limited information” on how other people’s smoke might affect psychological health.
